As far as extradition goes, found this on wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...ition_treaties
Here comes the fun part, if the USA proves he accepted money from a US based corporation -- it falls under USA jurisdiction.
Honestly, could care less what happens in other countries -- but without these types of laws - the internet would even be a bigger war zone / threat than it already is.

The UK and US have a special extradition treaty and this is why there is such a big hoo-ha over this case, the treaty is massively one-sided and his case has become an issue in the British media mainly to highlight this more than what he did. The same with the kid who hacked the american military computers looking for UFO information.
